Wyoming mourning 3 swimmers killed in car crash

Added to Favorite


The University of Wyoming community is remembering three members of the school’s swimming and diving team, who died Thursday afternoon in a single-car crash on a Colorado highway.

Campus president Ed Seidel on Friday identified the three students as Charlie Clark, 19, from Las Vegas; Luke Slabber, 21, from Cape Town, South Africa; and Carson Muir, 18, from Birmingham, Ala.

Muir, a freshman, was in her first season on the women’s team. Clark was a sophomore and Slabber was a junior.

Two more members of the men’s team suffered injuries that aren’t believed to be life-threatening, Seidel said in a statement released by the university.

“As we mourn the loss of these students, let’s do our best and pull together, support those who are suffering and show the compassion and kindness that characterize what it means to be part of this community,” Seidel said.

“They hailed from widely different geographies, but they found a home on our campus and in our student-athlete community. We will miss them all immensely.”

The students were traveling south in a Toyota RAV4 along U.S. Highway 287 in Larimer County, Colo., when the vehicle swerved, went off the road and rolled several times, according to the Colorado State Patrol. The accident is under investigation.

The crash occurred about 10 miles from the Colorado-Wyoming border. The students were not believed to be traveling for a school function.

In September 2001, a crash on U.S. 287 near Laramie, Wyo., claimed the lives of eight members of the university’s cross-country team. The vehicle the team members were traveling in collided head-on with a pickup truck that had veered into its lane.
